Somali Rep. Ilhan Omar on Wednesday broke her silence, begging for money in a social media video more than a week after her home was raided by the Department of Homeland Security in an ongoing criminal fraud investigation.
Omar’s Washington, DC home was raided early last Monday morning in a criminal fraud investigation that is looking at Omar’s immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a teen. Investigators were seen hauling boxes of evidence out of her home last week.
Omar previously released a statement, hours after the pre-dawn raid began, writing on X, “I’m ok.” She continued, “Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.”
Since the raid, the years-long investigation, which began under Biden, has expanded further. It was also revealed that the warrants were approved by far-left federal magistrate Judge Matthew Sharbaugh, an Obama appointee who donated to Hillary Clinton’s failed 2016 White House bid, debunking any claim of weaponization against the Somali fraudster.
Now, Omar’s begging for more donations to “fight Trump and his administration,” claiming the investigation is meant to “intimidate me and so many people right before the midterm elections,” and that Trump is “running scared.”
She claims that she will be “out there campaigning alongside all of you and making sure that we beat back all of this and that we win in the midterms, win the House, win the Senate, and hold this administration accountable.”
That might be hard to do from prison or Nayib Bukele’s Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) in El Salvador.
WATCH:
Hi everyone, Ilhan here. I just wanted to say thank you so much for the support to everyone who sent a note of support, for everyone who sent $5, $10, $20.
That goes a long way as we fight Trump and his administration for trying to intimidate me and so many people right before the midterm elections. We know that they’re running scared.
We’re not going to be intimidated. We’re not going to be silenced. We’re not going to be scared. I’ll be out there campaigning alongside all of you and making sure that we beat back all of this and that we win in the midterms, win the House, win the Senate, and hold this administration accountable.
Thank you so much again, and please continue to support us. It is going to be a very expensive and challenging time, and so we appreciate whether you’re able to send 5, 10, 20. Thank you.
Officials believe that Omar may have lied on her papers, constituting fraudulent citizenship. Border Czar Tom Homan and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin have both suggested that she lied and could be deported.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, however, the investigation is not just focused on Omar’s immigration and whether she lied to obtain citizenship, according to US Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
Pirro said in an interview last week that there are “several investigations going on,” suggesting that the civil or criminal immigration issues and other financial crimes may be involved, including Omar’s financial disclosures and $30 million net worth. Trump also simultaneously signaled that the probe is centered on Omar’s “money that was stolen from her fraudulent activities in Minnesota.”
And last week, we also learned that the Feds seized Ilhan Omar’s phone when they raided her DC residence earlier this week and that members of Omar’s family have been subpoenaed.
Now, the Feds reportedly have obtained Ilhan Omar’s DNA and could use it to prove Omar committed immigration fraud.
